- Last night's WWE Fastlane pay-per-view ranked #2 among series & specials for the night in Nielsen's social media TV ratings, behind the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Fastlane had a total of 1.471 million interactions on social media last night - 146,000 on Facebook, 1.251 million on Instagram and 343,000 on Twitter. The last WWE pay-per-view to make the list was Clash of Champions in December, which drew a total of 507,000 interactions on social media - 245,000 on Facebook and 263,000 on Twitter. This was before Nielsen started tracking Instagram interactions.

- As noted, WWE has announced Kid Rock as the Celebrity Inductee for the 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Classic. SmackDown Superstar Mike Kanellis tweeted the following on the induction and says he wants to induct Rock as he is his biggest fan:

- Kevin Owens took to Twitter today and commented on how he should be the WWE Champion after last night's Six-Pack Challenge, which saw WWE Champion AJ Styles retain over Owens, Sami Zayn, John Cena, Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler. The feud between SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon, Owens and Sami continued during the match as Shane interfered to cost both men pinfalls at different points. Shane was also superkicked by Owens at one point after Sami moved out of the way of the kick. It will be interesting to see how the feud progresses on this week's SmackDown now that we're on the final stretch to WrestleMania 34. As noted, plans as of last week had Sami and Owens in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal but that could change.
